The 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team 'Iron Brigade' of the 4th Infantry Division was the first heavy brigade of the US Army earmarked for service in Europe under the Regionally Allocated Forces concept.

The brigade's heavy equipment includes 87 M1A2 Abrams MBTs, 144 M2A3 and M3A3 Bradley IFVs/CFVs, 18 M109A6 Paladin SPHs and 450 light tracked vehicles.
